Overview and Rules
Roulette is one of the oldest casino games and the most popular casino game in Europe.
The game of roulette is incredibly simple to play. It consists of a wheel with either 37 or 38 stops, and a ball that can land with equal chance in any of those stops.
Players make wagers by placing chips in the betting areas of the Roulette table. After all bets are placed, the ball is spun and eventually lands on a number.
Wagers placed on the winning number or on groups that include the winning number are paid a multiple of the bet. The house collects all other wagers.

Roulette Tips: Given the choice between an American and European roulette table, always pick the European one. American Roulette has two zeros, which greatly increases the house edge, whereas European Roulette with a single zero gives you much better chances of winning in the long run.
